Not Expecting: Fertility and Right to Family Planning [PILOT]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that nearly one in every eight couples struggles to conceive. Even today, infertility remains a societal taboo to the extent that more than 60% of prospective mothers said they hid their infertility from family and friends, and nearly half didn't even tell their mothers. All people challenged in their family-building journey should be empowered by knowledge, supported by the community, and offered an equitable and affordable path to biological parenthood. Not Expecting is a two-episode pilot audio series about the invisible heroes who—united by advocacy and inspired to act— have fought for better treatment, forced the medical establishment to evolve, destigmatized cultural perceptions, and pressured lawmakers across the country to guarantee rights to treat the illness preventing parenthood.
